This example shows how to listen to and handle some events on the map.
For more information, see the documentation.
Get startedBefore you can try the sample code, you must configure your development environment. For more information, see Maps SDK for Android code samples.

Git is required to run this sample locally. The following command clones the sample application repository.
git clone git@github.com:googlemaps-samples/android-samples.git
Import the sample project into Android Studio:
Go to the location where you saved the repository and select the project directory for Kotlin or Java:
PATH-REPO/android-samples/ApiDemos/kotlin
PATH-REPO/android-samples/ApiDemos/java
secrets.properties
file in the same directory as your project's local.properties
file. For more information about this file, see Add your API key to the project.Add the following string to secrets.properties
, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with the value of your API key:
MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
